Hello,

Question:

Keisha solved the following equation:

4x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

Which step has an incorrect justification? (Make sure to type only the number of the step into the blank: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5)

Correct Solution:

x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

4x + −2x + 8 = (6) (x) + (6) (4) (Distribute)

4x + −2x + 8 = 6x + 24

(4x + −2x) + (8) = 6x + 24 (Combine Like Terms)

2x + 8 = 6x + 24

2x + 8 = 6x + 24

Subtract 6x from both sides.

2x + 8 − 6x = 6x + 24 − 6x

−4x + 8 = 24

Subtract 8 from both sides.

−4x + 8 − 8 = 24 − 8

−4x = 16

-4 x -4 = 16

x = -4

Answer:

Where keisha went wrong was forgeting to subtract 6x to both sides.

Incorrrect step is #3

The solution to the equation is correct.

on the line - 4x + 8 = 24 to the next line

- 4x = 16

4 should be Subtraction property of equality and not addition property of equality

How do I solve this?

Answer:

x is in the range [-1,4]

Step-by-step explanation:

I haven't worked with absolute value inequalities in awhile, but let's take a wack at this.

We are given the following inequality:

| 2x - 3 | <= 5

This implies two possible cases:

[1] -5 <= 2x -3

Or

[2] 2x - 3 <= 5

So let's solve x for both of these cases:

[1] -5 <= 2x - 3

 -2 <= 2x

 -1  <= x

[2]  2x - 3 <= 5

 2x <= 8

  x <= 4

So from these cases, we can say the following is true:

x >= -1  and x <= 4

Thus, we can write this in the form

-1 <= x <= 4

Or in interval notation:

{ x is element of reals | -1 <= x <= 4}

Also written as

x is in the range [-1,4]

Where the closed brackets represent 1 and 4 as possible answers whereas parenthesis would imply they were not.

Cheers.
